Madam Speaker, let us be proud of all forms of Canadian energy and their history. On February 13, 1947, 75 years ago this Sunday, Leduc No. 1 struck oil for the first time. After 133 unsuccessful attempts, the famous Vern “Dry Hole” Hunter finally found what he was looking for. This discovery was the launch of the greatest energetic and economic development in Canadian history. This discovery benefited all Canadians. More than $500 billion has been shared with the provinces. Today, let us be proud to see that Canada is one of the countries in the world, if not “the” country, with the toughest environmental rules. Speaking of that, canadaaction.ca stated that the world needs more Canadian energy, that we can support both climate action and Canadian oil and gas, and that success is tied to our record of environmental innovation and emission reduction. Yes, the environment and energy can go hand in hand. One does not preclude the other. As long as we need energy, let us make sure that energy is Canadian. Let us be proud of all Canadian forms of energy, and happy 75th anniversary to Leduc No. 1.
